Discussion Topic

on the Windows instructions, you will note that the instructions have you use "npx" but you need to replace it with "node" and change the arguments to the entire path

use : "npm root -g" to get the node path and add it to the beginning of the string, then add "/dist/index.js" to the end of the string

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "brave_search": {
            "command": "node",
            "args": ["C:/Users/scott/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/@modelcontextprotocol/server-brave-search/dist/index.js"],
            "env": {
                "BRAVE_API_KEY": "YOUR API KEY"
            }
        },
        "sqlite": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "mcp-server-sqlite",
                "--db-path",
                "C:\\Users\\scott\\PhpstormProjects\\boom\\python\\roi_database6.db"
            ]
        }
    }
}

The use of npx on Windows should be fixed now.
